It is so important to find ways to add variety into our meals! While animal proteins can provide great nutrients that our body’s need it is also important to make sure we don’t overdo our animal protein consumption.

Our Zesty Tofu Scramble recipe is a great, tasty way to do this for breakfast or even as a breakfast for dinner option!Ingredients: (approximately 8 servings)
